Not to be confused with navel drones.

Ukraine is learning how to use naval drones vs Russia. Taiwan and the Baltic nations are paying close attention.

Oddly enough, Iran seems to be behind the curve. Good for us, but will that last?

it's difficult to believe we are behind on drone tech. i wouldn't be surprised if expending conventional munitions against russia and iran in recent times are simply to get some roi from old **** and make room to store newer tech including drones :) :)

Probably not the reason, but it sounds so good that I bet the Trump admin starts using it.

Is it though? Specifically the militarization of "small" units, not the predetor drones etc. Also I don't think it is the tech itself, I think it is the application and response to such technology.

We haven't had to really be knees deep in a war where we needed to be more strategic on a budget. Look how our big hammer approach has been moderate and wainingly successful with Iran.
